What Laurent Robinson Can Mean To The Rams…

I’ve been watching a lot of this preseason. Maybe it’s that the Yankees are so far ahead of the Red Sox that it’s not even fun anymore. Maybe it’s just football is the greatest sport in the world, but I have been watching every preseason game that I can in order to get a feel for how the NFL is going to shakedown this season.

I also have an innate interest in the Rams, due to the fact that former Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is now the head coach. I would love to see Steve succeed and I think that the team has made some real shrewd moves during the offseason to make that happen. However, when we look at it down the road, none maybe be better than swapping some late round draft picks for Laurent Robinson.

I loved the move when it was made, but now that Robinson has had two very nice preseason games, I love it even more. He’s 6′2, which I love because I think that height is something that is STILL underrated when it comes to receivers. He has soft hands, and some ability to create after the catch. The best part? They simple switched 5th and 6th round draft picks with the Falcons to get him. They didn’t even have to give up a pick!

As of now, Robinson isn’t officially a starter. He is technically behind both Donnie Avery and Kennan Burton. However, don’t expect that to last very long. Robinson is the best receiver that is currently on this roster in terms of fitting the west coast offense. His size will allow him to go over the middle, and like I said before, I think that he will be able to run with the ball enough to succeed.

Rams fans; Be excited.
